  • Patent number: 8336113
    Abstract: An improved welding helmet encloses a welders head and a portion of the neck. The helmet contains a fan, filter and thermoelectric cooling module to provide clean, cool air that reduces welding fume levels below suggested maximums and provides cool air to the welders head and neck area making their body feel cooler. Air exhausted from the helmet is captured and further utilized to significantly improve system efficiency by causing it to be in contact with the hot side heat sink that is a part of the thermoelectric cooling module assembly. The use of an external power source, including readily available welding power, is suggested as one option for supplying system power. An optional configuration is presented where an external container strapped to the welders body is employed containing the fan, air filter and thermoelectric cooling module and is connected to the helmet by cool air intake and exhaust air hoses.

  • Patent number: 8104094
    Abstract: This invention defines a welding helmet that encloses a welders head on five sides and with an optional skirt covers their neck. The helmet contains a fan, filter and cooling module to provide clean cool air that reduces welding fume levels in the breathing zone below suggested maximums. By providing cool air to the welders head and neck area their whole body will feel cooler. It suggests the use of an external power source to provide the energy required to have a fan of sufficient capacity to draw air thorough a quality filter so potentially hazardous constituents of welding fumes are captured. This externally supplied power allows the required cooling capacity thermal electric cooling modules to be used to significantly lower the ambient air temperature. This helmet allows the welding operator to have sufficient cooling to improve their overall work environment for one of the most objectionable welding issues, excess heat.

  • Patent number: 7462799
    Abstract: Welding shielding gas is often wasted because the welding operator sets flow rates excessively high. The flow rate limiting apparatus described can be added externally to a needle valve flow control adjustment knob in a flow control device. It is connected such that it limits the degree of allowable movement of the flow control knob. It can be locked with a key type tool to prevent changes. Even when the maximum flow is set and locked, the flow can still be lowered by the operator from the maximum allowable flow setting. This ability allows the operator to adjust flow for differing needs and may further decrease gas usage. Eliminating the ability to set excessively high flow rates also prevents the creation of turbulent flow exiting the shielding gas nozzle or cup thereby eliminating air entrainment into the shielding gas stream improving weld quality.

  • Patent number: 7178996
    Abstract: The invention relates to a high density small form factor opto-electronic transceiver system in which the module housing and guide rail from a large form factor transceiver system, e.g. an X2 transceiver, are used to house a plurality of small form factor transceivers. Ideally up to four independently functioning pluggable small form factor transceivers are plugged into the module housing of the larger form factor transceiver, which has been modified to form a shell. The shell houses a printed circuit board, which has a plurality of electrical connectors on one end for receiving the transceivers, and a single electrical connector on the other end for plugging into a host system.

  • Patent number: 7048452
    Abstract: The latest 10 Gb/s optical transceivers include large heat sinks with heat dissipating fins or pins extending from an upper surface thereof, which can cause difficulties when the transceivers are passed through an opening of a faceplate onto the guide rail of a host device. Often the heat dissipating fins or pins will contact an edge of the faceplate opening causing a series of ratcheting impacts that can damage the fins or pins. Accordingly, the present invention provides a guide rail with a resilient arm extending therefrom comprised of a vertical section extending along the side of the transceiver and a horizontal section extending above the top of the heat sink, but below the edge of the faceplate. A lead-in section extends outwardly and upwardly from the horizontal section providing a camming surface for guiding the transceiver into position.

  • Patent number: 7019248
    Abstract: These shielding gas flow-control devices avoid weld start quality problems often created in typical GMAW systems. They accomplished this while maintaining the common high pressure gas delivery pressures. Higher pressures maintain automatic flow compensation when gas restrictions occur while welding. A measured amount of extra shielding gas is quickly delivered at the weld start to displace air that enters the welding torch body and cable when welding is stopped. They also provide extra gas to purge the air in the weld start area. The extra gas is provided without excess gas flow velocity that, if present, causes air to be pulled into the shielding gas stream. These unique devices control gas flow while being located in, on or in close proximity to the wire feeder. A simple method of limiting gas flow adjustment is also included. These systems also minimize shielding gas waste which often occurs at the weld start.

  • Patent number: 7015412
    Abstract: This device significantly reduces a major reason for shielding gas waste in MIG welding. When welding is stopped, excess gas is stored in the hose transporting shielding gas to the solenoid located in a welding system. At subsequent weld starts, this stored gas creates a high surge flow wasting gas. Prior methods employed to reduce gas waste at the weld start have been complex, subject to leaks, were not sufficiently robust for the environment, did not provide shielding gas savings for welds longer than 3 to 4 seconds, were useful for limited delivery hose lengths or reduced the self compensating flow features inherent in higher delivery pressure systems. The device includes a compact variable flow-control that is inserted in a shielding gas delivery hose at a predetermined distance from the solenoid end to reduce gas waste and provide a controlled amount of extra gas at the weld start.

  • Patent number: 7004647
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bail latching device for an opto-electronic transceiver, including a pivotal latching member and a bail. The bail includes ends extending at an acute angle from a plane defined by the side arms for pivoting the latching member when the bail is rotated from a rest position to a removal position. Ideally, in the rest position, the side arms of the bail extend downwardly on each side of a front end of the transceiver. In the removal position, the bail is parallel to a removal direction, whereby the bail rotates the latching member to an unlatching position and then provides a handle to grasp while removing the transceiver from a standard cage.
